Health of security funds

It is not easy for this country with its huge population to set up a healthcare security net that covers all residents. It is even harder to manage it.

Repeated reports of hospitals swindling money out of local healthcare security funds by fabricating patients' records points to the urgency of strengthening the security and management of such funds.

That a case has not been concluded three years after a hospital in Zhengzhou, capital city of Central China's Henan province, forged patients' records, suggests that there is not yet a workable mechanism to identify and deal with such malpractices.
